In the Medicine and Surgery Units, visits are allowed from 2.30 pm to 7.30 pm. In order to preserve the patient's rest and that of his neighbours as much as possible, the number of visitors is limited to two people at the same time in a common room. For patients on a diet, fruit and sweets are not recommended. Patients admitted to the digestive surgery department must ask the doctor's advice before eating any food brought by a visitor. In the interest of the patients and for hygienic reasons, no flowers or green plants may be brought into the intensive care units.
L' Hôpital Général de Douala propose à ses patients des repas diététiquement équilibrés et adaptés à un éventuel régime particulier. Dans la mesure du possible, les patients peuvent choisir entre différents menus rencontrant au maximum les goûts de chacun. Le choix s’effectue la veille auprès d’un membre du Département hôtelier qui se rend dans les chambres des patients. En chambre individuelle, un accompagnant peut également recevoir certains repas. Le personnel infirmier vous informera sur ces possibilités et sur les formalités à effectuer.
Your return is planned by the doctor, make arrangements with the nurse in charge of the department where you are hospitalised, in order to fix the time of departure. Do not forget to ask him/her for the certificates and prescriptions that you will need. If your state of health requires paramedical assistance at home (nurses or physiotherapists), we inform you, but without any obligation, that we have a home management service for the management of our home care service.
